RE: I see it all slipping away....
 

Having been on both sides of the house, civil service and now back on active duty. I would recommend that if you can tolerate the pain wait for as long as you can to have the surgery. This will allow you to take the new job and hunt! But more importantly it allows you build sick time while in the GS-11 slot, which unfortunately is slow to build. Good luck with everything.
